Tratamiento estético para reducir la apariencia de estrías y mejorar la calidad de la piel en clínica de Tenerife

At Clínica Bajo, we understand how frustrating it can be to deal with stretch marks. These marks on the skin affect the self-esteem of many people, but they don’t have to be permanent. We have extensive experience offering effective treatments to reduce and, in many cases, eliminate these scars. Below, we explain everything about them: from why they appear to the best solutions we have for you.

What are stretch marks and why do they appear?

Stretch marks are visible marks on the skin that appear when there is excessive or rapid stretching of the tissues. This damages collagen and elastin, the fibers responsible for maintaining the skin’s elasticity.

  • Main causes:
    • Rapid changes in weight.
    • Pregnancy.
    • Accelerated growth in adolescence.
    • Prolonged use of corticosteroids.

There are two main types:

  • Red stretch marks: Appear in the early stages; they are easier to treat.
  • White stretch marks: They are older and require specialized treatments to reduce them.

Prevention of stretch marks

At Clínica Bajo, we recommend taking care of the skin before stretch marks appear. Here are some tips:

  • Constant hydration: Use creams rich in vitamin E and hyaluronic acid.
  • Proper nutrition: Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein and antioxidants.
  • Massages: Stimulate circulation and help prevent damage to collagen fibers.
